Get Real Experience. Make a Real Impact.
Norwich’s vision is simple: to educate people to act, think, and succeed as active citizens of the world.
Leadership Training
Norwich paves the way for others to dare themselves and defy the odds -- that’s why we’re the birthplace of the ROTC.
Mind Does Matter
Strengthen your impact with undergraduate research symposiums, summer fellowships, original research opportunities, and more.
Why Norwich?
All Norwich students are bonded by a shared mindset to go beyond their perceived limits, driving their academic success and professional development forward. Although students are housed based on lifestyle, everything else is shared — classes, sports, student clubs, dining facilities, community service, and academic networks. Together, you will join a powerful network of alumni, spanning the military and private sectors, who offer valuable mentorship and career opportunities.

“It’s a leadership laboratory of life-defining moments where lasting bonds of friendship will be formed, and lessons learned will endure forever.”
— Gary, Norwich Parent and Alum
The Norwich experience is like no other. We educate and develop leaders for the twenty-first century, combining our rich history with innovative learning experiences to prepare citizens and citizen-soldiers to serve our nation and the world.
Do you need to be a cadet or in the ROTC?“At Norwich, there is a big emphasis on service. Volunteering builds character while helping the community and building relations and connections. Some of my favorite memories are from freshman year when my rook family would...spend time helping the community in different ways.”
